Re: [alreq] Does a final KASHMIRI YEH have a circle below it in Naskh style fonts? (#271)

[Comments on the Proposed Arabic Letter Kashmiri Yeh](https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2010/10169-input-india.pdf) says:

> Experts opined that the glyph of the “Kashmiri Yeh” as shown in the in the proposal is never used 

and

> The annotations for the code points U+06EA, U+06CC were proposed (L2/09-406) since some of the Kashmiri writers were using U+06CC and U+06EA in combination to render different variant of the Kashmiri Yeh. With the independent encoding of the “Kashmiri Yeh” these annotations are not required.

This seems to be clear that a final/isolated form of KASHMIRI YEH with circle below is just a workaround for authors who couldn't use the nastaliq shape (only introduced to Unicode in 2009), and that it wasn't a single code point either, but rather a combination of 06EA + 06CC.
